(OOC) Hello! Thank you for being interested in my "story". This isn't a typical story, as this is my log to record flora and fauna I 'come across'. Why did I put that in quotation marks? Well, I'm honestly REALLY hyped about No Man's Sky currently, and would like to try and keep that hype down by making up my own plants and animals. This can technically count as a story, as I tell about recent events before I record new plants and/or animals. I have started several stories before, and have abandoned all of them. While I very likely will do the same with this, it honestly doesn't matter very much. Mainly because this is less of a story and more of a log. Anyways, thank you once more for being interested in my story/log. You may continue reading.

(IC)Hello, this is Zendichez Engin. I have recently started my journey across the universe to discover new flora and fauna, which may have beneficial effects that could be used in medicine, and if necessary, war.In this log, I shall record my discoveries I have found throughout the universe.I will publicly share information of these plants, animals, minerals, toxins, etc. with everyone, but I will only give physical things to certain factions I wish to give to, or if I wish, I can auction them to the highest bidder. If you are interested in one of my discoveries, please reply. Most of my discoveries I will give away, only certain things I shall auction.

ENTRY NO. 1

Type of Organism: FloraType of Flora: FungusPlanet Found on: TantrivarStar System Found in: BendemhiCasual Name: Nanvucini MushroomScientific Name: Valitanembri FungevisAppearance: Light pale green, averaging at 1'7" ft. tall when full grown, with its cap averaging at 1'0" all around. Dark green blotches have been seen on some of these mushrooms.Details: During the night, while planted in the ground, you can see the roots glow so brightly, it looks as if the ground itself was illuminating. After roughly 3 hours of the roots illuminating, the stem itself starts to glow. This attracts insects, but when they get close enough, the mushroom cap quickly closes, trapping the insects inside. The mushroom then starts to let out a gas inside of it's closed cap, killing and breaking down the bugs. The mushrooms gives off another gas, which somehow changes the bugs into a gas, the bottom side of the mushroom then absorbs the gas, and gains nutrients from it.I have dissected the fungus, and have found the gas it secretes to break down the bugs, does so by creating it's own acid which will evaporate almost any substance on touch, which it then releases in a gaseous form. I have decided to keep a vial of it in liquid form, so I may give it to a certain faction, or maybe keep it to do more testing.

ENTRY NO. 2

Hello, this is Zendichez Engin. I have decided to keep track of my 'days' in space and on different planets by using a clock in my ship I have built. Using the clock, it is now day 11 since I have left my home planet of Jurididonia ((OOC) Yes, my character is the same species as he was in my last story, but their planet was not destroyed this time. Think of it as an alternate universe.), and I'm already missing it. Luckily, if I ever wish to return I have a teleporting crystal my friend and I created soon before I left. For the past 2 days, and for the next 3 days, I shall be on the planet of Tantrivar. It is a very hostile planet, one that would not be a very nice vacation spot. I might do an entry on the planet itself.I have spotted a rare predator a few times. It comes out only at dusk, and disappears as soon as it catches it's pray, which does not take long. It will be what I am logging about today.

DISCOVERY ENTRY:

Type of Organism: FaunaType of Fauna: TerrestrialPosition on Food Chain: Highest, Carnivore.Planet Found on: TantrivarStar System Found in: BendemhiCasual Name: GytenareScientific Name: Carnivinious GytennionAppearance: Humanoid, light-black skin is wrinkly and rough. Averaging at 7'1" feet tall when standing straight. It's head is like a crocodile's, but half as long a snout, and no scales. It has 28 teeth on each side of its mouth, and 12 to rip into it's prey. It is very bulky, yet somehow it can reach running speeds up to 24 MPH. It has average sized hands for something with that size of a body, but has six short, razor-like claws on each hand. Same goes for feet, but those are 2 3/4 inches longer.Details: At the top of the food chain, it eats almost any other predator, which it kills by swiping it's razor sharp claws at it's prey's face to blind them, and then proceeds to tear open it's body to completely kill, and eat it. It has an average IQ of 45, which explains it's hunting skills.It hunts at dusk, and, as I have said before, disappears after it has killed it's prey.I have only seen this creature very few times, and I am not sure why. It has plenty of food, as it can eat almost anything, and nothing hunts it, so my guess is that they only lay one or two eggs their entire life. Well, if they even do lay eggs.

ENTRY NO. 3

I have an update! This is day 12, and I am on Tantrivar. I have found where the Gytenare lives! It is currently not here, but I managed to take one of it's eggs. It had 3, so my guess of them only laying a small few eggs may be correct. I am going to auction this off. Not so I can make easy Units, no. I want this to be in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing. Many people with many Units have gotten that way through being wise with their money. If they are wise with their money, they should be wise with this. I am auctioning this off at 10,000 Units. Reply if you would like to buy!

(This, and future entries will take place in a universe where his auction went well, and gained millions of units from it.)ENTRY NO. 4

I think it's about time I explained more about myself. I've made a few entries already, so it's about time.

DISCOVERY ENTRY:Type of Organism: FaunaType of Fauna: TerrestrialPosition on the Food Chain: Highest, Sentient.Planet Found on: JurididoniaStar System Found in: Lafteron-49Casual Name: ZendichezScientific Name: Zendichez Lakkk EnginAge: 30Appearance: Humanoid, Olive skin color. Is 5"11 when standing up straight. Bright Sapphire eyes, with brown hair. Thick stubble.Personality: Loves new people and new discoveries. Very friendly and outgoing, and doesn't like being alone. While he is usually very friendly, he is very serious when needed. He likes to discover new, natural flora and fauna, but he also likes to experiment on current living things to create new ones. Main goal in life is to create a flora and/or fauna that can live forever.

Backstory: Born into nobility from the Engin family on the planet of Jurididonia, Zendichez's childhood was happy. When he was 9, in his school he and 8 of his friends created a group with the sole purpose of discovering new plants. Their group became very popular in his school, and gained many members. Two years later, they decided to also discover new animals. The group lasted in his school even after he graduated, and is still going to the day this log is being written. After he graduated, he used his mechanical expertise, (and a lot of money,) to build a state-of-the-art spaceship. It took several years, but it was well worth it. He stayed on his home planet for a while, even after his spaceship was finished. A month after he turned 30, he left his home planet, to write this log book you are reading right now.

ENTRY NO. 5

Update: As you know, I was born into the Engin family, which on my home planet of Jurididonia, is a very respected noble family. What does this have to do with anything? Well, with that money and power, combined with my success I have made from auctioning off my discoveries, I have been able to create my own faction! I am calling it "Engin Industries". I plan to create colonies with it, and have it become almost a government for them. I will keep it out of faction wars, and have it value peace and prosperity over war and destruction. I think it shall do well, and hopefully thrive for thousands of years.

Post by Illsent on Jul 27, 2016 23:58:22 GMT

(OOC) So, I'll have to wait a little bit to create Engin Industries, as new rules are being made. In the meantime, in my story and any RP I join, I shall act as if it has already been created.

ENTRY NO. 6

Engin Industries has been founded! I have used millions of units on our headquarters, but it was well worth it. The building is located in a lush, oasis filled desert on the planet of Raczicaio, found in the star system of Elrepime-2. The building also has some of the most destructive weapons you can find outside of the black market; that's what most of the Units were spent on. I have already hired janitorial staff for the HQ, and will start to accept new members soon.I guess I should now explain what my new faction is all about. I have created Engin Industries to colonize the unknown galaxy, and to study new flora and fauna to help create cures for the thousands of diseases found across the galaxy, and for other medical purposes. We will only go to war if others have declared war on us, though raids or the like on any of our colonies will not be tolerated, and if attacked enough, we will launch an attack on anyone who helped in any of the raids on said colony. Do not think we will not defend ourselves during a raid, as we will aim to kill those on the opposing side. Now that that is out of the way, I can soon make another discovery entry. Well, I have a lot more preparation to do before I can officially open Engin Industries.

ENTRY NO. 7

My engineers working at Engin Industries have recently uncovered something big. It includes the Sentinels, but I will not go into details, for if the wrong person got a detailed report on what we found... Well... Let's just say it wouldn't end well. A basic summary would be: We dissected all types of Sentinels we could find, and reverse-engineered them to learn all we could about them. We found the same small part inside each of them, and when none of my engineers or anyone else with mechanical expertise could tell me what the part did, we started testing on it. After doing many different things, we finally managed to activate it. It replicated the Sentinel. We have used this to our advantage, and thus created a Sentinel army. We have tried to make the Sentinels better, but since there is such little space for upgrades, we must downgrade something in order to upgrade something else.There are only two problems we cannot fix with our Guardian Sentinels, as I have named them.1. The replication has a cool-down of 24 hours, so even though one Guardian Sentinel can replicate more than once, it must wait 24 hours to replicate again.2. Like I have said, in order to upgrade a part of the Guardian Sentinel, you must downgrade something else. As an example, if we want to upgrade it's rate of fire, we would have to downgrade something else, like it's temperature resistance.Luckily, we have separate Guardian Sentinel teams for different purposes.We have an assault team, which are all a humanoid shape of Sentinel, and have 1+ attack power, 1+ rate of fire, and 1+ movement speed, with -1 defenses, -1 temperature protection, and -1 jump range.We have a tank team, which are tank shaped Sentinels, and have 3+ defenses, 2+ temperature protection, and 1+ attack power, with 3- movement speed, and -3 jump range.We have several other defensive teams, but we have other types of teams, too. For example, we have a mining team, which is made of the small, spherical, floating Sentinels, and have 2+ physical strength, and 1+ temperature protection, with 3- defenses. We also have a construction team, which are all also the floating, spherical Sentinels, with 4+ physical strength, and 4- attack power, since they won't need it.

We continue to innovate, we continue to expand. And soon, we will create our very first colony, which in time will become a prosperous nation.

As the new entry appears on your screen, a video plays. There is large amounts of static and loud noises blaring in the background...

"Hello?? This is Zendichez Engin! If anyone is watching this, Engin Industries has been ambushed by The Armada. They are way too powerful, and our Guardian Sentinels for whatever reason are not activating."

You hear an incredibly loud explosion which makes the microphone Zendichez was using malfunction, making it not work. About a minute later, the microphone starts to work again!...

"...changing my name and appearance to prevent The Armada from finding me. Here's a small bit of advice: If you see The Armada... RUN."

You hear an explosion which causes the screen to be covered in static. A few seconds later, you can see a large hole in the wall with members from The Armada about to enter. You can only see Zendichez' leg while he runs through the door opposite of the large hole.
